The festivities en Prague they do not stop. These are some of the main ones:
Bohemian Carnival: At the end of January and the beginning of February (about 6 days in total), Prague celebrates its roots. The carnival is divided into 4 parts: Divertimento Furioso (mask parades through the city), Bohemia Divina (exhibitions and concerts), Praga Mysteriosa (merchants and fashion designers show their most avant-garde works) and Cuisine d'Alchimiste (typical food of the country is put to the test by local and foreign palates). The greatest activity is concentrated on Fridays and Saturdays.
Easter: Prague celebrates it in a very particular way. The city is decorated with bows and Easter markets are opened throughout the city selling the classic colored eggs and other typical objects. There is also a somewhat controversial tradition: on Mondays it is legal to hit women (lightly) with specially decorated rods. These rods symbolize "youth", so women appreciate the "gesture" with colored eggs or chocolate.
Spring Festival of International Music: Held between May 12 and June 14. It is a window for artists, symphony orchestras and chamber music from around the world. He international festival pays tribute to the past works of various composers, as well as world premieres of compositions by contemporary authors. 2010 celebrates its 65th edition.
